If you pay 15.99, you actually get _unlimited_ 4G data instead of 100GB. It's been life saving during the lockdown, being somewhere with very slow wifi...

I think when I first signed up it was 20GB, then upgraded to 50GB, and now it is 100Gb or, indeed, unlimited. Frankly I never get close to that, anyway, so it’s always left me thinking what I would have to do to get to that sort of data download. If I tethered more outside of WiFi perhaps I would hit it, but I live in a bigger city so WiFi is usually no problem.

Probably worth noting that, if you set up your home Freebox right, you can access secure WiFi on other Freeboxes that do the same anywhere else in France. If 4G is sketchy for some reason and I am anywhere near a decent sized apartment building, I can usually hook into someone’s home WiFi for a few minutes to grab the podcast etc. Very handy.
